Mobile recycling could allow for a new Nokia to be purchased

The Nokia E72 is set to be made available to consumers on the 3UK network, it has been revealed.

Consumers could wish to take a closer look at the handset if they are considering making an upgrade.

Mobile recycling with Mazuma is one way in which people could get rid of their old handset in an environmentally friendly way while also receiving cash.

Sylvia Chind, head of branded devices at 3UK, said: "Over the last few months we received a number of comments about our Nokia E72 ranging decision, which isn't surprising after the success of the Nokia E71."

Due to the amount of correspondence the mobile operator received it felt offering it to customers would be a welcome move, she added.

The phone incorporates a full qwerty keyboard - potentially making messaging quicker - and a five-megapixel camera which could ensure that users can take high quality photographs.
